FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows a front perspective view of a body of a kedubell

FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a top view of a body of a kedubell

FIG. 5. FIG. 5 shows a back perspective view of a kettlebell handle of a kedubell

FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows how a kettlebell handle is connected with a body of a kedubell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows a front perspective view of a kedubell that comprises a kettlebell handle 10 attached to the top of a body portion 12. The kettlebell handle 10 is mounted on the top of the body portion 12 at two ends; from each end the loop starts to extends upwardly to form a hand grip shape. There is a left knob 14A and a right knob 14B used to easily attach as well as detach the kettlebell handle 10 to the body portion 12. With this embodiment, the kedubell can be freely used to swing as a traditional kettlebell.

FIG. 2 represents that the body portion 12 is flattened at the bottom so that it can be stably settled on the ground.

FIG. 3 presents a front perspective view in which the kettlebell handle 10 is detached from the whole kedubell so that a cavity inside the body portion 12 can be seen. The cavity typically has the same shape as the body portion 12, although this shape may be spherical, the embodiment is not limited thereto. There is a left hole 16A and a right hole 16B so that the left knob 14A and the right knob 14B can be fixed, respectively, which enables the top of the body portion 12 being removed or assembled depending on the purpose of users. The kedubell now becomes a dumbbell with a dumbbell handle 18 fixed in the cavity of the body portion 12 for users to grab. FIG. 4 illustrates a top view of the cavity to show how the dumbbell handle 18 is mounted inside the cavity.

FIG. 5 presents a back perspective view of the kettlebell handle 10. There is a left hole 22A and a right hole 22B matching to holes 16A and 16B respectively. When the kettlebell handle 10 is assembled to the body portion 12, a notch 20 slides into a groove 24 in order to make it quicker for users to insert the kettlebell handle 10 to body portion 12 in the accurate position.

FIG. 6 is a description of that when hole 22A is aligned with hole 16A, as well as hole 22B is aligned with hole 16B, a long pin 26 is inserted through all these holes and then fixed at its two ends by knobs 14A and 14B to assemble the kettlebell handle 10 to the body portion 12, and to prevent the kettlebell handle 10 from rotating inside the cavity of the body portion 12. 

What is claimed is:
 1. An exercise weight, comprising: (a) a housing body portion comprising a cavity, in which a dumbbell handle is attached, wherein the cavity extends from one side of the body portion so that there is enough space for an average size of adult hand to do dumbbell exercises, wherein the dumbbell handle is perpendicularly mounted to the extended direction of the cavity. (b) a detachable kettlebell handle with an upwardly extended loop style, wherein the kettlebell handle is mounted to one side of the body portion. (c) an elongated connecting member to couple said kettlebell handle with said housing body portion, wherein the connecting member slides through all the aligned holes, wherein the connecting member is locked inside the cavity at its end.
 2. The exercise weight of claim 1, wherein the cavity of the body portion housing has a notch for the kettlebell handle to be easily and firmly accessed.
 3. The exercise weight of claim 1, wherein the top of the body portion has a groove for the notch to easily and firmly slide into.
 4. The exercise weight of claim 1, wherein the connecting member is locked completely inside the enclosure at its two ends by a couple of knobs which is opposite to each other.
